Who to Invite

It is best to keep the gathering intimate.  Invite a few friends over.  If you have lots of people over, you will not be able to take special care with the party.  An intimate party is the best option when dining at dusk.

Location

If you have an area outside where the party can be held, that is the best option. You want your guests to be able to enjoy the night air.  Use your patio or backyard space to have the perfect party.

Setting the Scene

In order for your dinner party to be perfect you have to set the scene.  First, you need lots of candles outside.  Candles will set the mood and transform the outside into a visual paradise.

Also, if you have table heaters you may want to put them outside and have them ready to go in case anyone gets cool.  Sometimes, it can become chilly as the night air moves in so you should be prepared.

Also, put tablecloths on your outdoor table, and include a centerpiece. Make the centerpiece elegant and stylish.  You want it to appeal to the guests.

Starting the Party

A dusk dinner party is not complete without a wine tasting. Have a wine tasting prior to the meal.  This will give everyone a chance to sit outside, talk and enjoy different types of wines.

You can serve appetizers with the wine.  Be sure to pick appetizers that will go with the wine.  Cheese is a good appetizer, and you can also include fruit.  These foods will not take away from the taste of the wine.

The Menu

You also need a main course.  You will want a nice meal after the wine tasting.   You will have several options to choose from. You could go with a shrimp dish. Shrimp pasta goes well with wine so the guests can continue to drink.

If you want something heavier, consider a roast.  It will taste great, and guests will not leave hungry.

A dinner party at dusk is your opportunity to shine as a hostess. You will be able to show others your cooking and party skills.  You will be able to entertain your guests and have an amazing time at your dinner party.

Tips for Throwing a Dinner Party at Dusk

• Tailor the menu around the guests.  Since the gathering will be small, find out what people like to eat and then come up with a menu everyone will enjoy.
• Have non alcoholic beverages on hand in case someone does not want to drink wine.
• Make sure you do not have any standing water outside as that will attract mosquitoes.  Mosquitoes can quickly kill the fun.
